[barnes 0]

I'm thinking about investing in the domain trading system. I plan on buying a domain name, building it a bit, and selling it. From what I have picked up, this is what I know.1. You'll get more money if there is a simple site already set up. (Exspecially a CMS someone can log into.) Exspecially if you have alot of content.2. You'll get more money if you get alot of hits.Does anyone know any more information before I buy a domain? I'm about to buy it tomorrow and start building it soon. Let me know of any info I need to know!

I have seen forum being sold that way. A forum will build a good traffic and then sold to the highest bidder. However, at the stage in internet domain names, it'll be harder to find a good domain name to sell. All "simple and easy to remember" domain names have been taken and they too are forsale at high prices.However, you never know what people are willing to do on the internet. Good luck on your venture and keep us updated.

See now this is not a bad idea. because it really doesn't cost mush to get a forum going, or to register a domain. Now Domsin name buyign and selling has been around for a while, but the forum thing is not a bad idea. Building the site and the traffic will take some work, but once you do, I think it's a great money maker. Interesting. Have you known anyone to actually do this? The selling of a forum?

What are the risks of investing in domain names?

ˇ Domain name investing is subject to risks of technological change and evolving industry standards.

The Internet in general and domain name investing in particular are still in their infant stage.The Internet could simply stop functioning due to overloading or a virus or terrorist attack. The domain name system could undergo some other unforeseeable sea change. For example, currently domain names are only accessible using the Latin alphabet (a-z). Eventually, surfers may be able to use other alphabets (e.g., Arabic, Hebrew), and domain names of transliterated words from other alphabets will shrink in value.Such companies as i-DNS.net, RealNames, and neteka.com offer domain name access in every major alphabet and language in the world. In any of these cases, an investor could fail to achieve reasonable returns.


ˇ Internet surfers could begin accessing sites primarily through "plain-English" domain names.

The Internet Engineering Task Force is currently developing a proposed standard, the Common Name Resolution Protocol, to allow users to type in simple words instead of complicated URLs to get to their goal. The CNRP standard would unify common names already being used by RealNames , NetWords, America Online KeyWords, MSN Autosearch, Netscape Navigator Smart Browsing, and CompuServe's Go Words. (Representatives from some of those companies are on the IETF standards committee.) If the standard becomes internationally accepted, then the value of the underlying domain names could shrink. The final standard should take about a year to finalize, and then web and software companies would have to decide whether to adopt the protocol.

ˇ Certain domain properties may be expropriated.

When buying names in the country domains, the investor faces a risk that the relevant country's internet administrators will retroactively change the rules as to who can buy the names. For example, a country could rule that a buyer must immediately develop the site and not merely park it. Alternatively, a country could rule that names can only be bought by citizens and corporations located in the country. Unlike real property, internet property is extremely easy to expropriate, requiring only a small change in the country's NIC database.

ˇ Domain properties may be the subject of trademark dispute.

GoldNames does not recommend to investors to purchase or trade in properties that are subject to trademark dispute (e.g., disneyfilms.com). Nonetheless, an investor may accidentally acquire or broker a transaction involving a name likely to invoke a trademark dispute. In addition, even after an investor owns a name, another individual may trademark the name and then try to claim the name from the investor. Merely reserving a domain name isn't enough to safeguard it from trademark dispute

Over 1000 proceedings have been commenced under the Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy since the policy went into full operation on 3 January 2000. In an effort to assist the community in keeping track of these proceedings, the ICANN web site lists the proceedings arranged by (a) commencement date, ( proceeding number, and © domain name. In addition, the ICANN site now offers a search tool and a statistical report on the status of the proceedings. These may be accessed through ICANN.

ˇ New or changing laws or regulations could greatly restrict the domain investor.

On an ongoing basis, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers ("ICANN", https://www.icann.org/) is working to more closely monitor and arbitrate the registration of names on the Internet. ICANN is primarily concerned with cybersquatting, i.e., investors who deliberately choose domain names that are similar to major trademarks. It is also possible that ICANN will restrict investors from registering names without the intention of immediately developing them.

I think thats a lot of work with expected earnings that are not even sure. But if you are good in building websites and can create lot of traffic than its worth trying. Good luck!

I would look into that alot more unless you have tons of money to throw away. There are many BIG companies that already do that. Such as godaddy. They suck, but they make money off domains. I read something about some guy that purchased tons of porn names and sold them on ebay for $1000's

That seems like a way to make some serious cash though. There are millions of perverts on the internet, so porn names would make sense!!!

Few years(or months) back there was a trend to look for small companies and buy domain names in their brandname. And when these companies later went for registering , they had to buy with a bis sum.But times changed. Don't even think of registering a domain on rapidly growing small companies. It is very probable that they will send their lawyer instead of an offer to buy.

The problem with this is work to cash ratio, to get any real money out of selling a domain you will need a big member and traffic base and a good rank on the search engines. Once this is achived you have put in an aweful lot of time and effort, it isn't really just buy - sell - buy - sell

The idea is cool, but you need to think of every domain you buy as you are going to keep it.Meaning: You need to give it time and effort as it is yours, not as you are just buying it to sell it fast .You will need to do some hard work in it, to build fair amount of traffic..But again, when you own a good website with such daily traffic.... why sell it??I think it would be more profitable to keep it then and and place some affiliation ad's, google adsense..... etc.
